Raw

Raw is the ultimate solo violin music performance.
Sets of unaccompanied violin music presented in different forms depending on the venue and situation: renaissance
meets electronics, baroque vs hiphop, soundscapes, visual art...
A new view on music which evolves with every performance.

Contrapunctus

CONTRAPUNCTUS is more than a programme of music, is a concept which has taken violinist Jorge Jimenez to perform this highly demanding unaccompanied solo violin programme all over Europe, Turkey and South America.
